THE LOAN PROPOSAL.
[To The Editor Stratford Post.]
Sir, —Some months ago at a public meeting hold in the Town Hall to consider loan proposals it was decided to adjourn the meeting for a couple of months. Loan proposals are now before the ratepayers—it is true not the proposals that were then contemplated, but still loan proposals. The work for which the proposals are put forward may or may not be such as ratepayers approve, but ratepayers are surely entitled to know what it is they are asked to spend their money upon. The matter, too, of the proposed new Borough by-laws might well be postponed until after such meeting. Some time ago His Worship assured us the water rate was more than paying its way. Why then this attempt at saddling us with an extra impost on this accounts' It seems as if ratepayers were to be regarded as an orange to be squeezed dry. 1 am, etc. H. WILSON.
